Meurig Dafydd (c. 1510–1595) was a Welsh bard, genealogist and historian, at one time one of the leading literary figures in Glamorgan.
[1] Meurig Dafydd periodically left the Lewis's to tour the houses of the gentlefolk of Glamorgan, Gwent and south Brecknock.
"[3] Edward Stradling (1528/29–1609) bore the expense of the publication of John Dafydd Rhys's Welsh grammar Cambrobrytannicæ Linguæ Institutiones (London, 1592).
Meurig Dafydd addressed a cywydd to Stradling and Rhys on the publication of the grammar, and referred to the former as a master of seven languages.
[1] The bard and antiquary John Llywelyn of Llan Gewydd, near Bridgend, Glamorganshire studied under Meurig Dafydd and Thomas Llewelyn.
